Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Tuscany is facing scrutiny and taking action regarding its regional infrastructure and soil stability. Following road failures and closures on the Fi-Pi-Li highway near Livorno, European Parliament member Francesco Torselli criticized the management of Toscana Strade. Torselli questioned the allocation of maintenance funds since 2020, stating that frequent road collapses and construction sites have negatively impacted citizens and businesses while reducing the region’s competitiveness. In response to regional infrastructure and safety needs, the Tuscany Regional Council has approved a portion of the 2026 Operational Document for Soil Defense. This includes allocating over 3.5 million euros to the Province of Pistoia for hydraulic realignment and expansion basins, such as those for the Ombrone Pistoiese basin and Fosso Ombroncello. The funding also covers hydraulic safety for the Cessana and Pescia streams, as well as specific interventions to restore roads damaged by landslides. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-13: Tuscany allocates over 3.5 million euros for Pistoia soil defense Tuscany has approved over 3.5 million euros for soil defense and hydraulic safety projects in the Province of Pistoia, targeting river basins and landslide-affected roads. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tuscany-allocates-over-35-million-euros-for-pistoia-soil-defense ### 2026-08-13: Tuscany infrastructure under fire following Fi-Pi-Li road failures Francesco Torselli has criticized Tuscan infrastructure following road failures on the Fi-Pi-Li highway, questioning the use of maintenance funds and the effectiveness of Toscana Strade. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tuscany-infrastructure-under-fire-following-fi-pi-li-road-failures --- Cite as: Tuscany infrastructure and soil defense management.
